Overlinking

[edit]

Hi - I have reverted a few of your edits for overlinking - so I have come to explain the reason.
As explained at ‎ WP:OVERLINKING we only link the first use of a term in any main section of an article, and we do not normally link:-

  • Everyday words understood by most readers. - such as million and wedding, which you linked
  • Names familiar to most readers, including;- major countries, major cities, major languages, major nationalities/ethnicities and major religions
  • Common units of measurement, years and dates

There are many articles where these are already, incorrectly, linked; however, we are trying to reduce this, not increase it - Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 13:52, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
